Title: Initialled signature 'C?G' on Murano sommerso pheasant - ID = Caithness (second)
Post by: bobsywoman on February 14, 2019, 12:44:59 PM

Hi
I have this lovely Murano pheasant (about 6 inches tall)which carries initials that look like "C?G" (a curly 'C' then possibly a 'u' followed by a curly 'G' on the base that I cannot trace
Elsewhere I have seen an unsigned one attributed to Seguso yet I have also seen these nib like beaks attributed to Galliano Ferro
I have run out of ideas on research so would be very interested to hear if anyone knows or could give me an educated guess?
Thank you
